OSU research finds solutions for
improvised explosives …
one piece at a time
Students at Oklahoma State University will forever have
the opportunity to participate in real scientific research, thanks
to a gift from John and Heidi Niblack.
The Niblack’s generous estate gift that takes advantage
of the Pickens Legacy Scholarship match will create a perma-nent
endowment for the Niblack Research Scholars Program,
a one-of-a-kind experience that allows undergraduates to
conduct research.
“At most universities, hands-on research is performed
primarily by graduate students and faculty,” said Steve
McKeever, OSU’s vice president for research and technology
transfer. “OSU, however, through the Niblack Research
Scholars program, offers scholarships to undergraduates to
allow them to participate in research also.
“We are so grateful that John and Heidi have supported
the program for so long and that now they have chosen to
endow it for the students for years to come. Their legacy will
be permanently printed into the history of OSU.”
The Niblacks created the program in 2004, which provides
an $8,000 scholarship to 12 undergraduates each year. John,
who is the former vice chairman of Pfizer Inc., attributes his
own pursuit of scientific research as a profession to the experi-ence
he received as an undergraduate at OSU, and says he funds
the program to give young people that same opportunity. “I
enjoy giving students the opportunity to see what real science
is like, as opposed to textbook science or lab science,” Niblack
said. “I hope many of them, after completing the program,
will decide to become professional scientists.”
